The hallmark of all maintenance services is an oil change, with which we include a full works package at no extra cost. Here in the hot AZ weather and with the frequent stop-and-go traffic that we experience in the Mesa-Chandler area, we generally lean towards the severe maintenance schedule to keep your vehicle running smoothly and to catch any needed repairs before they become more severe. Vehicle manufacturers often recommend a “standard” and a “severe” maintenance schedule. Foreign Auto ServicesĪll maintenance services are performed according the manufacturer’s recommendations. Traditionally-Foreign Makes & Models That Are Serviced By Crawford’s Auto Repair:Ĭrawford’s Auto Repair also services traditionally-American makes and models. One might consider that an automotive manufacturer is American or foreign depending on where they are headquartered, regardless of where they may have factories, but that doesn’t necessarily work either because a sub-company can be headquartered in the USA while their parent company is headquartered in a different country. More recently vehicles with the best resale value include the Subaru Impreza and Subaru Legacy. For years the Honda Accord was known as the vehicle with the best resale value, due it’s long-lasting quality. Toyota, Hyundai and Subaru are all known to make vehicles with good parts. The Toyota Prius is the hallmark of all Hybrid vehicles even though there are many others in the market. From one angle there are some who produce cheaper and more economic vehicles which allow more people to own a vehicle.įrom another angle they are competitive in their technologies and designs. If there are any reasons besides the before-mentioned economic recession that could be attributed to the rise of foreign vehicle sales in the US market, it’s the fact that these companies manage to stay competitive from multiple different angles of the market. However, the globalization of the auto industry makes the phrases “American” and “foreign” less meaningful. The market is now much more balanced where the sales of traditionally-American and traditionally-foreign vehicles are about the same. In 2018 Toyota had reached the #2 spot with other foreign companies not far behind. Ford and Chevrolet still managed to hold the top two best-selling brands in the early 2010s, but Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, and Kia were all numbers 4-8. One such company was Chrysler and their sub-brand Dodge, who was acquired by Fiat, a traditionally Italian-based company which now operates in the US as “Fiat Chrysler”. During that time some car companies were filing for bankruptcy (the “reorganization of funds” kind of bankruptcy, not the “we’re out of business” bankruptcy) and others were being acquired by foreign companies. The housing crash and subsequent economic recession in 2008-2009 was rough on the auto industry as well. By the early 1990s Toyota, Honda and Nissan were at top-selling numbers 3, 5 and 6. In the early 1980s the 4 top selling brands were still American, but Nissan, Toyota and Honda managed to work their way up to numbers 5, 6 and 7. In the early 1970s the market was dominated by Chevrolet, Ford, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Buick, Plymouth, Mercury and Doge.
